The Beskirted Lumberjack - Red and black checkered shirt with a black skirt
November 6, 2024

It’s been a while since my last outfit post and this one features one of my all-time favorite outfits which I have lovingly dubbed “The Beskirted Lumberjack”. Based on the feedback you guys gave me on my last outfit post, I have included better photos this time which you will find at the bottom of the post.

The prominent feature of this outfit is a button-down shirt with large red and black checkers. It is a bold and bright shirt that couldn’t be more of a stereotype of typical “masculine” clothing in Western cultures. I like to pair it with one of my black skirts and either black thermal tights or cotton leggings depending on how cold it is.

In the photos below, I am wearing it with my black skirt from Engelbert-Strauss and with black cotton leggings which I find more comfortable than tights. Also in the photos below, you will notice I am wearing my brown heeled boots from Anna Field. I like to wear brown boots with the outfit, but will sometimes wear black instead. I have the same boots in black.

I have worn this outfit sans heeled boots in public many times and have never had anyone comment on it. I tend not to wear heeled shoes out because at 191 cm (6′ 2″) without heels, I already have difficulties fitting into things without heels. Instead, I will wear flat boots or my sneakers.

The outfit as shown consists of the following components:

What do you think about the outfit? Would you change something about it or keep it the way it is? Let me know in the comments below!
